Derek's Boys

$35,270
of $20,000 goal

We are all completely heartbroken, and are all thinking about Derek's family right now, especially those boys who he loved more than anything.

His friends have asked how they can help Karen and the kids, and we can all agree that he wanted those boys to have the best of the best. We thought contributing this way, was the best thing to do right now. It's something we can all do to help, when we all feel helpless.

Raising two small boys isn't easy, or cheap, and we know Derek's friends would want to help Karen.

Hi everyone, because of Derek's awesome friends and family, and their friends friends, we surpassed our goal of 10k in less than 2 days. What a testament to Derek and his contagious personality. If you only met Derek once, you were his friend.

Karen is getting updates often and is overwhlemed with the amount of love shown by all of you. Thank you so much.

We have received donations from as small as $5 (which shows how much he impacted people, up to $1000), it's just incredible to see. We are going to continue for as long as needed, Thank you again for everything.

Hi Everyone, Heidi​ and I are trying our best to make sure we connect you all to the boys the best we can. We are getting requests on how to send them something. If you want to get something to them, Please drop it off or send to:

If it's before Christmas, We will make sure they have everything by the 24th. If it's after Christmas we will send to them as it comes in.

Thank you for everything you have all done so far. His friends are amazing, but of course they are, they're Derek's friends!
